The same Howe who a few ago was heavily linked with Everton and Arsenal? I admire your optimism but I find the suggestion laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d struggle having to comply with FPP at this level. Bournemouth couldn’t get up without breaching it last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your optimism but I find the suggestion laughable. Time has moved on . If SL is really committed to moving City up to the Prem with a young talented coach who has experience of promotion from the Championship and kept an unfashionable club in the top flight playing decent football there are very few candidates. Equally for Howe , we are close to Bournemouth and we have a great environment for someone like him to shine in. Optimist ? Why not . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a turnaround at Watford. He's the type of manager we need to get the best out of this squad. Admittedly we'd be looking for another manger fairly soon but before he throws his toys out of the pram we might actually play with an identity. And yes, I know I'm going to get pelters for this And I can understand his post-match interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham told me last year he's "stepping back" from most social media. I think he found some of the people you encounter on it a bit wearing - to put it mildly - and it was taking up too much of his time. Which it probably does for all of us! You can still find him occasionally on Ziderheads, but that's about it. A big shame because he was one of the most level-headed, decent forum members here.

Yeah he's still active on twitter as I think I saw earlier on in the thread. I'm sure the assumption by some of his premature demise will amuse him nonetheless.

Reg, as we all sit together at football; I can safely say he keeps my boys entertained with his constant abuse of the ref; and linesman. He mentioned to me, that he's aware of what the forums say; but wants to stay off them, as apart from a few; they are full of idiots nowadays. Got as much chance of Eddie signing, of Graham coming back in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wearisome posters and subjects to be given a wide berth of course, but for me posting on OTIB remains enjoyable on the whole.

Bristol Oil Services Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 For me, the thing with GrahamC is, I wish he would stop the prevaricating, beating around the bush, and just come out and say what he thinks, in a few shorter, blunt if you like, words. All that flannel and waffle - just tell us how you see it, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit of fun and a substitute for the pub conversations that we can’t have for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I think the Corbyn election fiasco fandango was a hammer blow to GrahamC, and not one he saw coming, either, and will have likely prolonged his absence from this place, as he takes time to lick his wounds, and perhaps see the error of his, if not ways, then political views as all Corbynisti reflect on a bruising defeat ....

Utter nonsense, sorry. He is a professional football coach and would either wait for his compo or bugger off the first time a bigger job became available to him, and I wouldn't blame him.. His football loyalties were firmly set well before he was 25 years old which is when he came to City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
